Naturally, the orphan boy catches the judgmental eye of more than a few nobles, though he is ever under the watchful gaze of a beautiful and doting instructor. Through his trials and tribulations, Rio's prowess opens the door to an adventure spanning continents, international incidents, love triangles--even an assassination attempt by an adorable werefox girl. Can Rio find himself while protecting the ones he loves? The stakes have never been higher as worlds collide!
